Well...

Communism sounds so cool that there are probably always going to be people who think they can, maybe, pull it off.

Because, although capitalism is the secret to my success, a lot of people are afraid of work. A lot of people pray to win the lottery every night.

The big challenge for capitalists is to help out the less successful. One side of me screams, "They're the lowest end of the food chain! Cut them off before they reproduce and spoil civilization."
But there is another part of me that suggests, "It is possible, Martyr, maybe, for people to be taught to be successful..."

From what I've seen in America, we should cut them off. An all capitalist government would master export and trade, allowing for more and more money and mopre and more power and more and more freedom. All people have to do is work. Just like Communism, but the system is focused more on an individual so losers don't screw things up!

But nobody will do that. Nobody wants to kill a damn seal. There certainly isn't anybody who can ignore the pleas of stupid, violent, uneducated morons of the lower class. Our societal morals tell us that "they" should be treated equally even though they don't want to play by the rules.

America is a giant freaking nursery!

Anyway, that was probably a way far off topic rant.
But I hope it helps to explain why communism still lingers.

It's because of all the great governments we have developed, we still have an imperfect government. So modifications to the concept of communism still look like an option to people. That's all.

I just wish that Mr. Marx wasn't such a violent bastard.
